SOROKIN SHINES: Islanders SURVIVE Due to Ilya Sorokin, But Speed Problem HURTS Playoff Hopes

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 07:20:00 GMT

The New York Islanders escape with a point thanks to Ilya Sorokin's brilliant goaltending in a shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks, but is Sorokin carrying too much of the load as the team’s losing streak stretches to four? Can this aging Islanders roster keep pace with younger, faster squads and revive their playoff hopes?

The conversation focused on Sorokin’s impact, Victor Eklund’s physical, high-energy play, and a tense showdown between Matthew Schaefer and Macklin Celebrini. Key themes include defensive breakdowns, lack of team speed, and costly penalties from Anthony Duclair and Ondrej Palat that squandered a critical 4-minute power play. With injuries sidelining Matias Maccelli, Mat Barzal, and Ryan Pulock, questions swirl about roster moves, goalie management, and whether the Islanders can tighten up before facing the LA Kings. Don’t miss this sharp analysis of the Islanders’ challenges and emerging storylines.

NO-CALL NIGHTMARE: Islanders Fall as Matthew Schaefer DENIED and Ilya Sorokin SHINES in OT Loss

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 05:20:00 GMT

The New York Islanders drop a controversial overtime heartbreaker to the New Jersey Devils amid questionable officiating—was the missed call in OT the turning point? Goalie Ilya Sorokin’s 45-save performance couldn’t overcome the Islanders being outshot 50-23, as New Jersey dictated the game’s pace and erased a two-goal deficit. Matthew Schaefer’s gritty play and goal, plus Logan Stanley’s maximum CBA fine for slashing, fueled heated postgame reactions from players and fans alike.

Key discussion points include the Islanders’ lack of power plays, defensive breakdowns, and the impact of lineup changes—most notably Ben Hutton’s debut in place of Scott Mayfield. Updates on the returns of Mathew Barzal, Matias Maccelli, and Ryan Pulock signal hope heading into a tough California road trip starting with the San Jose Sharks. Plus, a look back at Bill Guerin’s legacy as the Islanders’ birthday of the day. Can the Islanders reclaim their structure and get back in the win column?

Islanders Anxiety - Episode 386 - To What End?

Islanders Anxiety — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Mike and Dan get big picture after two Islanders losses to better teams last week and a looming trip to California this week.

Stop us if you've heard this before but the Islanders lost to the Hurricanes. They also blew a 4-2 lead and lost to New Jersey two nights later. Although the games weren't similar, one aspect was: the Islanders simply don't have the talent to beat the NHL's better clubs. They can hang with them for a bit, and the Islanders love to talk the talk about how great they are. But ultimately, this roster is simply full of too many players bringing too little - which, ironically, is the best they can do. Has the team been bad for so long that they forgot that they can be better? Why bring in marginal players like Ben Hutton and Robby Fabbri with other similar players already here? What is the point of any of this when the playoff cutoff line gets further away and the reality of what this team is sinks in? What is the difference between false hope and the kind of manufactured hope the Islanders keep trying to sell us?

In the second half, we discuss the upcoming trip through San Jose, LA and Anaheim. On paper, the Islanders can win these and get back into the playoff picture. But it's difficult to see them doing that, so things could be worse by next week. We also talk about the Hometown Remix jerseys, which were rolled out last week, and the Fisherman logo that still drives people crazy. This might be shocking but lots of younger people like it.

Finally, some late breaking news prompts our first ever impromptu Devil Piece Theater. In which their new big star goalie won't play against his old team because of... data. Sure, guys.

Can the New York Islanders Really Survive With This DISMAL Power Play?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 05:20:00 GMT

The New York Islanders playoff hopes hit a snag as their struggling power play proves costly against the Carolina Hurricanes. Can Victor Eklund and Brayden Schenn’s offensive spark offset persistent special teams woes, or is another long season looming on Long Island?

The conversation focused on the Islanders’ 5-3 loss, spotlighting Semyon Varlamov’s shaky start, Adam Pelech’s controversial penalty, and J.G. Pageau’s rare defensive lapse on the game-winning goal. A key theme that emerged was New York’s predictability on the man advantage, with calls for more creativity and finishing. The discussion explored the upcoming matchup with the New Jersey Devils—who themselves struggle on the penalty kill—as a potential turning point for the Islanders’ power play. Plus, Islanders history takes center stage with a tribute to Ernie Hicke and a look ahead to critical Metro Division battles.

Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 94 - Jeff Hackett (with guest Sam Fels)

Islanders Anxiety — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Joined again by writer, podcaster and Blackhawks fan Sam Fels, we remember goalie Jeff Hackett, who played decently in 500 NHL games for some of the worst teams of his era.

Jeff Hackett's NHL career has a defined pattern. Every time he was given a chance to rise from back-up to starter, the team in front of him went directly into the crapper. He went from a bad early 90's Islanders team to an awful inaugural Sharks team. When he was sent to Chicago two years later, a new problem emerged: Ed Belfour was already the starter and wasn't keen on sharing his crease. Hackett endured Belfour's bullying for years before the elder goalie was shipped to San Jose and Hackett got the net full time. Too bad the Hawks playing in front of him were the definition of mediocre. His last starting gig was with the Montreal Canadiens, where the good new was that he wasn't directly following a Hall of Famer. The bad news was basically everything else.

Sam walks us through Blackhawks goalie debates and in-fighting (which occasionally included actual fighting) in the era before Toews-Kane-Keith-etc changed everything. Fans in Chicago couldn't watch home games on TV thanks to a cheapskate owner, but the team was barely worth watching anyway. On that team, Hackett wasn't a bad goalie; he was just more of an "innings eater" than anything else. Sam regales us with some of the personalities and peculiarities of that time in Chicago sports and we share with him tales about some forgettable Islanders teams. Meanwhile, most of Mike's memories of Hackett come from his years as a Hab during one of their fallow periods. It's a wide-ranging episode covering a lot of 1990's and 2000's NHL nostalgia.

Thanks as always to Sam for coming on. We could have listened to his Weird Blackhawks stories all day. Be sure to subscribe to his great newsletter, which covers hockey, football, soccer, pro wrestling and more. And check out our Weird Islanders Extra!

MOMENTUM SHIFT: Islanders Get ENCOURAGING News on Mathew Barzal’s Timetable, Eyes on REBOUND

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 05 Nov 2026 05:20:00 GMT

The New York Islanders receive a boost as Mathew Barzal returns to practice, sparking optimism for an offense in need of firepower. Will Barzal’s comeback ignite the team’s surge up the Metropolitan Division standings, or will ongoing injury concerns hold him back?

The conversation focused on Barzal’s impact upon return, the fluctuating timelines for injured teammates Ryan Pulock, Matias Maccelli, and Cal Ritchie, and potential lineup shifts once they’re all healthy. Key topics include mailbag insights about the chances of acquiring Nikita Kucherov, weighing massive trade packages versus building through high draft picks. With a preview of the heated matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes and analysis of recent defensive pairings, the discussion explored whether head coach Peter DeBoer can find the right formula to improve goal scoring. Don’t miss the latest updates, tactical breakdowns, and pressing questions for the Islanders heading into a pivotal stretch.

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 05:20:00 GMT

Nikita Kucherov’s decision to leave the Tampa Bay Lightning rocks the NHL—can the New York Islanders land the superstar winger and transform their offense?

Gil Martin breaks down what acquiring Kucherov could mean for the Islanders, spotlighting his elite scoring, the potential $18-20 million price tag, and the team’s historical struggles to sign top-tier free agents. The conversation focused on trade and free agency scenarios, Mathieu Darche’s connections, and how Kucherov’s arrival might elevate talent like Mathew Barzal, Bo Horvat, and Ilya Sorokin.

Key topics include Ben Hutton’s PTO details, Vladimir Dravecky’s standout OHL performance, and the Hamilton Hammers’ latest AHL results. Plus, a look back at Alexei Yashin’s impact as Islanders captain. Are the Islanders ready to make a franchise-changing move, or will history hold them back?

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 05:20:00 GMT

The New York Islanders address blue line woes with veteran gamble—will Ben Hutton’s PTO stabilize the defense or expose deeper issues? Mathieu Darche’s strategic, low-risk move sets the stage for a critical test as Isaiah George’s struggles and Ryan Pulock’s injury spark debates over youth vs. experience on the roster.

Host Gil Martin breaks down Hutton’s track record, the implications of the Emil Heineman kneeing incident, and Ondrej Palat’s resurgence as a valuable bottom-six forward. Key topics include the fan response to the Fisherman-themed third jerseys, evolving lineup options with Scott Mayfield, and the legacy of former goalie Eric Fichaud.

ALARM: Ryan Pulock Out, Islanders SCRAMBLE for Solutions in Critical Injury Crunch

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 05:20:00 GMT

The New York Islanders face mounting injuries as Ryan Pulock joins the list of sidelined players—will this adversity derail their playoff hopes or ignite breakout performances from emerging talents? The conversation focused on the defensive shake-up, analyzing options for replacing Pulock and the implications for the Islanders’ already thin blue line. One concept discussed was the potential call-up of Isaiah George and whether young prospects or trade targets can stabilize the roster during this critical stretch.

A key theme that emerged was the Islanders' struggle to generate offense, highlighted by their 4-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers and the impact of fatigue on recent performances. The discussion explored questionable officiating, Emil Heineman’s controversial game misconduct, and whether the penalty was truly warranted. Several points were raised, including the importance of Peter DeBoer’s defensive system, Ilya Sorokin’s workload, and key matchups against the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils.

Islanders Anxiety - Episode 385 - Bring a Tear to a Glass Eye

Islanders Anxiety — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Mike and Dan recap the Islanders' good week that ended in a wet fart, then take a look at a benchmark game coming up and the latest trade request from an NHL star.

The Islanders started the week with two huge but unlikely wins - in a shootout over Nashville and in overtime in Minnesota. Both games featured great performances and the structure we've come to expect from them this season. Matthew Schaefer got most of the notices, but his five minute shift in overtime against the Predators wasn't even close to the most impressive thing he did this week. A return Halloween home game against the Oilers started off bad and devolved into a circus before settling as a 4-0 loss. The best thing they can do now is wipe the slate clean of it and make it just a blip in this long season.

They'll get the chance to do that this week against the defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes. If they can hang with Carolina or even beat them, it will go a long way in determining how the rest of the season goes. Then it's another home game against the Devils and their new goalie, Connor Hellebyuck. They need to win at least one before heading to California next week.

Finally, we discuss Nikita Kucherov's surprise trade request and how it ties back to Dylan Larkin's ongoing trade saga. Kucherov hasn't set his career on fire the way Larkin has, but the way these have been covered is as annoying as the knowledge that the Islanders will not be a landing spot for them or any other premier player who's available.

More than anything, this team needs a talent upgrade. But between their own slow pace, locked in contracts and status outside of the rest of the NHL, they're going to need to get creative.
